"Have you ever loved somebody so much it makes you cry,
have you ever needed someone so much that you can't sleep
at night..."
From Brandy's Song, Have You Ever

There were lots of times in Minako-chan's life where there was a guy she would meet, but somehow, it would end up all wrong and Minako with a broken heart.  You would think, Does she have a curse or something?  That every guy she loves always seems to be the wrong one.  Although left with a broken heart, moving on would seem to be the best solution, and this is exactly what she did.  The result is, more crushes!  ^^;;

Wouldn't you like to meet them?  Of course you would, since she has these many idols and crushes and everything, it would be interesting to know more about them, ne?  Brace yourself, hang on to your seat and hold your breathe because here are the contestants, er, here they are!!  ^^;;

THE FIRST CONTENDER: Romance in the Silver Millenium?
General Kunzite has been known in the anime to be, ummm, gay...  (But I don't care, no matter what anybody says!!  ;P)  But it is clear in the manga that he and Zoisite weren't (or else, Bow-chan and I shall tickle anybody who objects!!  ^_-)  However that there is a picture of the generals with the inner senshi, we can never truly say that there was something that happened among them (we could only cross our fingers).
A Handsome General

The story is very confusing because for one thing, it is inconsistent and there are a lot loose ends in their story.  But what we do know is that he and Minako-chan became enemies.  Just like the senshi had Queen Serenity as their prince, the four generals had Endymion for their prince.  When they reincarnated, the senshi and the generals became enemies because the men were under Beryl.  It seemed that no matter how much that Kunzite tried, he can't seem to save thier beloved prince from Beryl because they had pledged loyalty to Beryl and they had to follow her.  Another weird thing is that even though the four general have died, Mamo-chan can still consult them for he is carrying all of their jewels in a box.  We know that they have died, but they are still there!!  So this story remains a mystery for all time...

SECOND CONTESTANT: Forever Holding On but Shall Always Fall
The Princess' Lover?
Straight from his mouth were the words, "I am your mystical lover..."  This is, yet, another tragic story and this also adds to another confusing chapter of Minako-chan's love life.  Kaitou Ace was like Tuxedo Kamen for SailorV.  But then, their story is another tragic one.  In the SailorV manga, he was quite an interesting man, appearing to be really good to everyone and showing girls extra concern, someone who would really catch Minako-chan's eye that is.  But in the end, it was a love that can never be...  (BTW, he is also the one who answered the reason why Minako's love shall never be.)  Don't worry, the info about him doesn't end here, An Ally, or the Enemy? should be your next stop.

THIRD CONTESTANT: A Man From A Painful Past
I've mentioned this man a lot of times before in several sections.  I explained him as the man who left a big scar on Minako-chan's heart.  The story is quite simple, in the anime, when Minako was still known to be SailorV, she traveled in England with Katarina, a police officer who she later on became bestfriends with.  Minako-chan had a crush on Alan, or so to say.  But what she didn't know is that Alan and Katarina thinks of her as just a 'child', and so, they fell in love with each other.
 The man who left a scar in her heart
Meanwhile that Minako thinks Alan is also interested in her, Katarina and Alan were already lovers.  The situation had to be revealed to her in a more hurtful way, when she almost died.  Of course, hiding in the shadows of the alley, she saw the two crying for her, but not the way two friends are supposed to comfort one another.  She knew that she wasn't the one who Alan really loved, but it was Katarina, her "onee-chan", her bestfriend...  More info?  Click on to: Revelations

FOURTH CONTESTANT: A Taken Admirer
Asai appeared in episode 100 of SMS. In my section, Revelations, he is somebody who claimed to have been impressed by her flying somersault reception, a move in volleyball which she herself is very good at. He appeared in the episode where she was starting to have doubts about being a senshi because ever since then, she didn't have time to do other things which other normal teenagers enjoy at that age, such as being in love. But then, Asai asked her if she had a boyfriend to which she answered a "no".

Minako then realized that she was missing a lot and felt that she was falling for Asai. So, she then went to their gym to take a peek at him but was shocked seeing that he had a girlfriend, the volleyball team manager, and after that, being Kaolinite's next target. At the end, the senshi were able to save his heart crystal but Asai saw how Sailorvenus served the volleyball, by flying somersault reception. In this way, he knew who sailorvenus was for he knew her to be really good in that move. So, the next day, he thanked her, albeit she in the form of Aino Minako.

FIFTH CONTESTANT: A Star that Shines Brightly

Minako may have a crush on all of the Three Lights, but then, she seemed to like Kou Yaten the best. In Sailor Stars epiode 192, when Minako pursues her dream of becoming an idol, she encounters Yaten for he was one of the judges there. The senshi have recently found out what the Three Lights' mission is, that is to find their princess. Seeing Minako-chan still trying to be an idol, Yaten was confused and asked her how she can still do this when she knows the danger that their planet is in. He also expressed his fears if they won't be able to find their princess, but Minako only responded, "You're not missing anything. You're shining brighter than anyone." With this, Yaten became happy with Minako's words.

By the end, Yaten said to her that he, "was very strict with the judging, but he also said that Minako was the one who was shining the most brilliantly". Minako was accepted at the final round of the audition.
